Isn't that amazing!! It blows my mind. That is over a long hold period of course.. but it shows the power of dividend investing. Ya think Warren cares what the daily stock price is?

So if you were 30 years old - and had bought Coke (KO) and you're now 60 and close to retirement - you'd be getting your original investment back every year in dividends.
